AS used by advocates of the liquor
traffic is nothing more than a shrewd
dodge to hide their corrupt designs
to rob the people of all their money
and to blast their homes. They use
these two words as beautiful lambs
wool to hide the greeds of wolfish
designs to rob the people.

From Nashville Union, Oct. 81. 1886.
JUDGE THOS. NJ, FRAZIER.

rrOm NdSnVllle UnlOn, Oct. oil, 1850.
JUDGE THos. NJ. FRAZIER.
Judge Thos. M. Frazier, eight
years on bench, says: 81 have no
hesitency in saying that over three
fourths of all the felonies and mis-.
demeanors tried were indirectly or
directly caused by whisky, and on
the trials that fact appeared in the
evidence"
JUDGE QUARLEs' EXPRESSION.
Judge James M. Quarles, who sat
upon the bench after Judge Frazier,
was seen. The reporter asked him
What is the most potent agent
in producing crime?"
He said : Unquestionably, intern
perance. l can not give data and
specify instances on the spur of the
case. This influence is felt in all
grades of crime, and especially in ca
SEES of manslaughter."
JUDGE MATT ALLEN.
Judge Allen spoke warmly and
said that the whisky influences
were responsible for the great pro.
portion of crime"

Be Sure You Get It Right.

Christian Advocate.
From all the information which we
have been able to get from every
where in the State of Tennessee the
saloonists are already beaten in the
contest overthe proposed prohibitory
amendment. If they succeed they
must do so by some sort of trickery
or fraud.
We warn the prohibitionists of the
State of this trick which it will be
easy for them to play: The statute
under which the election is held pro-
vides that ballots for the amendment
shall read "FoR THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT" and ballots against
the amendment shall read AGAINST
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT" If
any of these words are omitted on a
ballot, it will be thrown out as ille-
gal. We anticipate that the liquor
men will food the State with ballots
reading For the amendment" omit
ting the word "propoSed." BY this
means they may be able to mislead
some uniformed but honest temper
ance voters. Let the friends of the
good cause see to it that this trick
fails. Have at every polling place
a committee of three or four brave,
true men, supplied with an album
dance of correctly-printed ballots,
and the issue will not be doubtful if
they do their duty.

A voTER's soL1LoouY.
How Shall I Vote on the P~rohibitory
Constitutional Amendment

l must vote Yes, or No; as a citi-
zen of this State, 1 mast not, / can
not dodge the responsibility Of meet
ing this question there is too much
at stake. I mast UOte, and l must
bear the responsibility of my own
vote.
ButbOW shall I cote ? That is the
question. If | vote against the
Amendment, my vote will be in fav-
or Of thesaloon, and will involve the
perpetuation of the drink traffic,
with all its attendant consequences of
lawlessness and crime. If / vote
against the Amendment, l am vot-
ing in favor of a traffic which de-
stroys more men, young and old,
ruins more homes, and costs more
money than war, pestilence and ia
mine, all combined.
What has the saloon and liquor
traffic done that is of any benefit to
the individual, the family, the COM
munity, the state, or the nation that
1 should vote for its perpetuation ?
1t has put one dollar in the treasury
by way of revenue, but it has taken
more than two dollars out of the tax
payers pockets to meet the expense
of taking care of the results of the
business.
Now, if | vote forthe Amendment,
1 vote for the destruction of the sa-
loon and the drink traffic, for the
stopping of the cause of drunkenness.
l vote for a reduction of. over fifty
per cent. of our taxes. l vote for the
peace, prosperity, safety and happi-
ness of the home, the community the
state and the nation. How shall /
vote, for or against the saloon ? for
or against the drink traffic ? that is
the question.
My vote may decide this question
for veal or for woe. Which shall il
be? My vote may save many a maj
from a drunkard's grave, many q
home from sorrow, d%esolation, and
sadness, and turn other homes now
wrecked into abodes of sobriety, com.
fort and gladness. Ny vote may
turn millions of dollars which are
now worse than wasted, into chan
nels of trade and industry, thereby
giving work and support and comfor
to thousands who are now destitute
paupers, tramps, and criminals. My
vote may continue the saloon anC
: the drink traffic with all their at
tendant evils. Do / want this? NJ
vote cannot be a party one now. No
| MOI! 1t must be a citizens vote
: looking toward the greatest good O

scbem,ng Against Mr.. Cleveland.

The Republican leaders know that they
have no chance of electing their candidate
for President next year if Mr. Cleveland is
renominated. Their aim, therefore, Is to
defeat his denomination. They doubtless
think that if they carry New York this fall
the chances for Mr.. Clevelsnd's renomina-
ton viii be greatly lessened. They are,
therefore. making extraordinary efforts 70
carry that State at the approaching cleo
ton They selected Col. Fred Grant to
lead their ticket, not because they thought
him 10 be especially fitted for the Office for
which be is a candidate, but because they
believed that, aided by the great popularity
which his father enjoyed, he would get an
extraordinarily large vote.
But they do not, it seems, intend to de-
pend wholly upon the Grant name for vic
tory. 1t is hinted that an understanding
has been arrived at between the Republican
leaders and Henry George by which the
latter is to do all he can to further the in
terests Of the Republican party.
The New York Legislature at its last
session passed a law providing for the APP
pointment Of an additional election inspec-
tor for each election district in New York
city to look after the interests of any party
that cast over 5000 votes at the last
municipal election. Henry George received
considerably more than that number when
he was a candidate for Mayor last spring,
and some time ago he demanded
that the additional inspectors should be
chosen from the political party of which
he is now the chief His demand was &C
coded to and the inspectors were selected
and sworn in. 1t is a question, however,
whether the George party-or the United
Labor party as it is called-has any right
whatever TO inspectors. 1t had no exist
ence at the time Mr.. George was a candi-
date for Mayor. He was nominated by the
Progressive Labor party which has since
withdrawn from his support.
1t is noticeable that Mr. George intrusted
the selection of these additional inspectors
to a Republican, and there does not appear
to be any doubt that the great majority, if
not all, of them are Republicans 1t is also
significant that the Republican newspapers
insist that Mr.. Georges party is entitled to
the additional inspectors, and that the cam
paign literature of that party is being cir
culated by the Republicans. All these
things point to an understanding between
Mr.. George and the Republican leaders.
New York goes Republican about as often
as it goes Democratic, and while the out
look now is that it will go Democratic this
fall, there is, of course, possibility that it
will not If the Republicans should carry
it the enemies of Mr. Cleveland in his own
party will at once insist that he cannot
carry New York next year, and, therefore,
should not be renominated That is Just
what the Republican leaders want. If they
can get Mr.. Cleveland out of the way they
will enter upon the national campaign with
a feeling that they have pretty fair chance
for success

A Persuasive Kentucky Girl.

Society has something to talk about II is
the original manner in which young lady over
ruled decision of her fathers. The daughter
of a well-1nown professional gentleman wished
to make visit to some friends in New Orleans.
The father withheld his consent The young
lady was very indignant Her father enter
tanned some gentlemen friends at his home and
gave a handsome supper. In the midst Of the
meal they heard a tremendous noise in the room
above them. 1t sounded as if some one were
overturning all the furniture The host rose
hastily and went up to see what was the matter.
His daughter was lying squarely on her back in
the middle of the floor, pounding 1t with her
heels and small pieces of furniture she held in
her hands He asked her what was the matter,
and she replied that she wished to 20 to New
Orleans. He told her to stop her noise, that
she could not go. He went back down TO his
guests. and in ten minutes the noise was re-
sumed worse than ever. He went up to his
daughters room and again found her beating
the floor. You can go TO New Orleans, y" he
exclaimed, angrily, "and you can start to-
night" Thus the young lady carried her point.

Competition Checked.

There does not seem to be any immediate
prospect of successful competition with the
Western Union Telegraph Company. When
the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph system
was established it was expected to grow I'M
til it became almost as great as the Western
Union system. 1t had big railroad sys-
TEN to assist if, and a company that was re-
garded as one of the richest in the country.
1t has, however, become the proper ty of
the Western Union, and its
books show that instead Of
being paying concern it lost money almost
from the start, aud that its losses amounted
to almost as much as 100000 year.
The Western Union has grown into
monster corporation. It's capital stock is
now about ISL, 0OO,O 900, its debt about 81,
900, 900, and it will have to issue about So
100000 more of stock to pay for the Balti-
more and Ohio system. 1t is pretty safe to
say that when it gets its affairs all
Strengthened out it will have to pay
dividends upon about 500 900. That be-
ing the case the prospect Of lower telegraph
rates is not very encouraging.
The Western Union has gone on absorbing
one line after another until only few in
significant lines now remain outside of its
control. They do not do sufficient business,
however, to materially ikerfere with it.
Doubtless other lines will be es-
tablished, but they can have very little
hope of competing successfully with the
immense corporation that virtually does
the telegraph business Of the entire coun-
try. To get business it would have to cut
rates. and it would take big bank account
to stand reduction in the rates for longer
time than the Western Union.
1t may be that rates will be raised slightly
now that the Baltimore and Ohio opposition
has been removed. 1t is certain that
the Western Union has not been
making sits stockholders happy with
dividends lately. If it paid dividends
only upon the actual cost of its property, Or
the amount for which the property could
now be replaced, its stock would be about
the most valuable in the country. The rates
could be lowered, and still the dividends
would rival those of tine best paying stock in
the country.

Foraker Wasn't snubhed.

The positive declaration of the President
that Mrs. Cleveland had no intention of
snubbing Gov. Foraker and his wife at the
Philadelphia Centennial robs the Ohio
statesman of some of his campaign material.
AT the lunch given by Mrs Hendricks, at
indianapolis, to the President and his wife.
Mrs. Hendricks remarked to Mrs Cleveland
that the only unkind things said of her since
her entrance into the White House were in
connection with the charge that she had
treated Gov. Foraker and his wife dis
courteously at Philadelphia. The President.
who overheard Mrs Hendricks remark,
said that the failure of Mrs Cleveland to
shake hands with Gov. and Mrs Foraker
was not intentional 1t was simply one of
those things which cannot always be avoided
at crowded receptions.
1t is strange that Gov. Foraker should
have permitted false impression of the
Philadelphia affair to get abroad, and, that
too, with his approval, apparently His
conduct on his way TO Ohio. after the cele-
bratiOn was over, and even after he reached
his home, was such as to leave the impress
sion that he had been deliberately sighted.
Unless he was perfectly satisfied that such
was the case, he should have at once denied
the trnth of the story. His own self re-
spect should have influenced him to sup
pose that no discourtesy to him was in
tended unless there was not room for two
opinions about the matter.
Can it be possible that he had no idea that
he had been sighted until ne saw in a Re
publican paper the story that he had been,
and that then he concluded not to deny it,
but let it stand and use it against the Presi-
dent in his political speeches! 1t certainly
looks a little that way, and yet it seems
hard to believe that the Governor of
a great State like Ohio would be guilty OF
| anything of that kind.
In view of the denial of the President it is
due from Gov. Foraker to say, at least that
he was mistaken, and that he regrets having
done Mrs. Cleveland an injustice.

HETTY GREEN IN CHICA GO.
Lending Money and Buying and Sell

From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
Hetty Green, worth twice as much probably
as Phil Armour, weighs just about the same and
gets down to her Dearborn street office at just
about the same hour that the packer reaches
his La Sale street headquarters. All these
statements are at variance with popular notion.
Very few people, indeed, probably have had any
idea that Hetty Green mad a Chicago Office.
Then, too. every popular picture of the woman
worth S32 900 900 has been of a thin, angular,
vinegary female whose clothes dragged on the
ground. She is, in fact big plump woman,
who must turn the scale at $50 pounds, and her
toys are first-claSs The Rowland block is hers,
and her private Office is on the second floor, in
the rooms of her Chicago agents. She has been
here some weeks, and her son, an amiable, I'm
assuming sort OF young fellow, is here perma-
nently, over at AZ Ann street.

Green on the street at Q O'Clock one morning

broker had had an idea that women with more
money than they knew how to invest laid abed

of her money at the hotel. She takes lodging
with her agent down on the south side, comes
down town on an early car, and during the day

his mother but has some of the maternal in
stincts. To go to the expense of printing a
